The Middle East

Appreciate the pure beauty that is the MENASA region, ignore the conflicts for once. There's way more to our beautiful homelands than war and abusive regimes. Admin is from the Middle East, but doesn't reside there anymore - sadly. Just to clear that up. Feel free to request cities or countries, or submit something.

Egyptian bodybuilders pose with their mothers. In Egypt, perfecting one’s physique is a popular pursuit, and can be a source of family pride. The juxtaposition of strength and frailty, youth and age, man and woman, is what makes these photos so powerful — just like the country they hail from.
